"A simple cable converter is not enough..."

A simple cable converter is not enough. In fact, cabling is the least of your problems. You need something that takes the raw data off the HD and converts it into a usable audio/video stream. That stream is then fed to the TV over HDMI. That`s why you need a PC, XBOX, whatever, that can make that happen, ideally something you already own so you can save some money.

For example, it`s entirely possible these days that a dvd/blu-ray player might have a USB port and the software to take the data, process it, and stream it over the dvd/blu-ray player’s HDMI port! Knowing that, you could then shop for a dvd/blu-ray player w/ this feature and perhaps only spend a few more bucks.

What Emerald was suggesting was a standalone device, something that will always work (that’s its purpose). But you can save money if you can leverage existing devices that *may* already have this capability built-in, like those previously suggested. But there’s no “magic cable” that’s going to make it happen.

Your monitor only has the abilility to show signals that has been sent to it from a source (a computer, dvd player, etc). It does not have the required components like video codecs, processor etc that will allow it to play movies directly from a USB drive. In order to play movies, you will need to connect it to a device (like a laptop or DVD player) that has both HDMI output and USB input ports. The laptop will be able to play movies from the USB device and send the signal to your monitor.
As far as I know, this is the only way to do it. I don`t know of anyone who has invented a monitor to play movies directly (although it is a great idea...).

Even if you did connect it, your tv doesn`t have a built in media player to play your files stored on the drive. you will need a separate media player, like the WD TV Live or Roku`s media player to view the contents of your external drive on your TV.
